I'm helping a friend compile a list of good songs originally presented in cartoons or animated features, but NOT including Disney stuff.

She's putting together a cabaret piece, a "cartoon cabaret" as it were, so they should be songs appropriate for a one female performer to sing. Anybody have any suggestions? This is what i have so far:

[u:3v0qwzg4]animated features:[/u:3v0qwzg4]
Paris is a lonely town / Little drops of rain – Gay Purree
Somewhere out there – American Tail
We’re the Couple in the Castle – Hoppity Goes to Town
Faithful forever - Gulliver
Mother Earth and Father Time – Charlotte’s Web
Journey to the past / At the beginning - Anastasia
Looking Through Your Eyes / Prayer – Quest for Camelot
When You Believe – Prince of Egypt
Our town - Cars
Never was a love like mine for you – Mad Monster Party
Song of the heart – Happy Feet
Believe – Polar Express
Winter was warm – Mr. Magoo’s Xmas Carol

Now that I’m a woman – Last Unicorn
If we hold on together – Land Before Time

For some reason, "My World is Beginning Today" has been cut in recent years from Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

You can take quite a bit from Yellow Submarine or Heavy Metal, though much of those are borrowed material.

"Spider-Man Theme" from Spider-Man
"Way-Out" from The Flinstones
"Trogdor, the Burniator" from Homestar Runner
"Inside Outside Upside Down" from Josie and the Pussycats
"Do a Half-Assed Job" from The Simpsons
"Sugar Sugar" or "Bang-Shang a-Lang" from the Archies
"Laugh Laugh" by the Beau Brummelstones on the Flintstones

'Prince of Egypt' wasn't Disney?

One female perfomer... "When Emily Loved Me" from Toy Story II. The same-sex chicks will love it.

There's several other female-vocal songs from the Sherry Bobbins episode of The Simpsons.

The Lurleen Lumpkin episode has "I'm Basting a Turkey with My Tears" and "Don't Look Up My Dress Unless You Mean It," among others.

I assume that the Pixar films have the Disney taint? Too bad.

When it comes to TV cartoon theme songs, some favorites of mine include "Underdog" and "Magilla Gorilla."
